With toppings meant to attract all walks of life, pizzas are the perfect comfort food anytime, everywhere you go. Edmonton is home to several incredible pizza joints. But as much as we want to praise them, not all pizzas are created equal!

1. LOVEPIZZA
Everything that starts with love ends with love, and that’s precisely what makes LOVEPIZZA a must-visit pizzeria in Edmonton! Established by a tag-team of husband and wife, the restaurant is known for both tried-and-tested and inventive versions of the Italian classic.

Honestly, you can order anything from LOVEPIZZA’s extensive menu, and you’ll be satisfied. But let’s be extra and go for their meatatarian, donair-za, pepperoni, and Italian sausage, basil honey.
The meatatarian is Italian sausage with tangy tomato sauce, mozzarella, ezzo pepperoni, capicolla, and shaved parmesan. Their donair-za is Lovepizza sweet sauce holding together donair beef, shredded mozza, fresh tomato, and white onions.
From their lunch special menu are classic flavours you typically see in pizzerias. But they turned theirs into something more impressive. Our favorites are the simple pepperoni and the trio of sausage, basil, and honey!
But they have a LOT of new items introduced to their full-time menu, including butter chicken with butter satay sauce, sweet heat with Mike’s hot honey dip, and buffalo wing with buffalo ranch sauce and drizzle. So, you know what to do!
Oh, before we forget, their menu changes from time to time. So, if you’re in luck, try the ones we recommend!

2. Tony’s Pizza Place
Some pizzeria forms part of a place’s history, and that’s what Tony’s is to Edmonton. With over 35 years, any local has a memory or two with this renowned restaurant.
When the ratio of spices, meat, sauce, and cheese are balanced to perfection and put atop a perfectly cooked crust, you’ll get love bugs all over for the authentic New York-style pizza. And that’s how Tony’s like their pizza: outrageously good and phenomenally delicious.
So, here are our best choices from their expertly prepared menu: critically acclaimed New York-style pizza and world-famous Sal’s deluxe pizza.
Tony’s places solid confidence in their fresh zesty homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese that they are given the freedom to choose which toppings you’d like to go with your New York style pizza.
Their Sal’s deluxe, on the other hand, is prosciutto, capicollo, bocconcini cheese, and marinated tomato sauce working together to create one of Edmonton’s crazed pizzas.
From their dinner entrees, you’ll never go wrong with an order of chicken parmigiana–chicken infused with a secret breading, made more special with mozzarella and pasta.
But if, for example, you can’t go for various reasons, you can still enjoy Tony’s delights in the comfort of your home! Opting for delivery is something this pizzeria excels at. They make sure your pizzas remain fresh and piping hot!

3. Royal Pizza
Royal Pizza’s steady popularity proves that Edmonton is serious about their pizza deal. First established in 1969, this pizzeria captures the heart of any tongue that tastes their scrumptious and vast offerings, which range between poutines, calzones, burgers, kinds of pasta, classic and gourmet pizzas, and more.
If their years of experience aren’t enough to convince you of their greatness, wait until you hear they have more than 10 locations across the city! Mind-blowing, isn’t it? That’s how loved and supported Royal Pizza is!
If you’re ready to grab some award-winning pizza (yes, they’ve got some awards with the S under their belts), don’t hesitate to order a savory Royal Special, an interesting Chef’s Mistake, and an intriguing The Boss Has Gone Mad pizza.
Chef’s Mistake combines spinach, onion, bacon, and cheese into one heavenly pie. At the same time, the Boss Has Gone Mad is an ambitious union of spaghetti (we know), meat sauce, and mozzarella on the crust.
Straight from their classic menu are salami and mushroom and pepperoni—two prime flavours you shouldn’t miss if you want to pay homage to the OG.

Next, we have Monty’s, another Edmonton nobility when it comes to pizzerias. They’re famous for their extensive menu that ticks so many boxes—flavourful appetizers, mouth-watering pizzas, savory pasta, and more.
Their one-of-a-kind dough makes their crust the kind of crispiness you’ll be craving soon. And the toppings and cheese? Overloaded with all the good things! Plus, their impeccable service hits off the bat: friendly, warm, and all smiles. What more could you ask for?
So, don’t hesitate to order a house special, Monty deluxe, or a chicken supreme, and you wouldn’t be disappointed. The house special pizza is your typical toppings added with the goodness of shrimp, while the Monty deluxe showcases beef, ham, bacon, and fresh tomato.
Monty’s chicken supreme adds another layer of excitement to chicken-topped pizza. Other dishes worth mentioning include their baked lasagna and greek salad. We’re pretty sure these are more than enough to make you come back for more!

5. The Stone & Wheel Pizzeria
The Stone & Wheel Pizzeria is another never-miss establishment if you’re looking for the best thin-crust pizza in town. They’re also famous for their reasonable prices and generous proportions!
This pizza joint is small compared to others on the list, but the unique pizzas make up for what the space lacks in size. Their loaded toppings and cheese are there not to overwhelm, but to complement one another, so what you have is a dish with a harmonious blend of everything good.
We highly recommend their out-of-this-world garlic chicken and world-class pepperoni pizzas! The garlic chicken boasts the perfect ratio of garlic sauce—not too overwhelming to overpower the toppings.
Another house pizza worth praising is their five cheese: mozzarella, gorgonzola, romano, parmesan, and asiago bathing in traditional pizza sauce. Simple, yet elegant and irresistible! And their pepperoni pizza is just as amazing.
You may think you’ve had enough of these, but you’re definitely wrong! You haven’t tasted The Stone & Wheel’s version—spot-on bias-wreckers. You can opt for a half-and-half order if you’re not quite sure you’re satisfied with only one flavour.
What to order: Garlic Chicken Pizza, Five Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza
Address: 17 Fairway Dr NW, Edmonton, AB

6. Blaze Pizza
If you’re looking for something new, you should head to Blaze pizza. Be prepared to be amazed at how they prepare your favorite cravings: blazing right in front of your very eyes.
Their concept is simple: fast-fire’d, made-from-scratch pizza cooked to perfect crispiness. Let’s thank Chef Kent, aka “The Pizza Whisperer,” for this incredible feat! You’ll see how your pizza is made in real-time!
But that doesn’t end there. Since you can build your own pizza, you may just as well experiment with which toppings you’d prioritize and what ingredients you’d like less. So go and don your imaginary chef hats. You’ve got this!
But if you want to enjoy their signature pizzas, take a bite of their art lover and hot link pizzas—two reasons why many people keep coming back!
The art lover highlights artichokes, mozzarella, ricotta, and chopped garlic brought to perfection by red sauce dollops. You’ll never look at artichokes the same way! Meanwhile, their hot link is everything spicy with spicy red sauce, jalapenos, and sausage—a fiery offering for all the “spicyphiles” out there.

Amean is your one-stop restaurant for a wide variety of Middle-Eastern comfort foods. But man, their pizzas are the highlights of their menu! With friendly staff, a clean venue, and delectable food, they have given the people of Edmonton more reasons to be happier.
With a vast collection ranging from poutines, donairs, and subs, to pizzas and sides, there is undoubtedly something for everyone at Amean. But if you don’t know what to order, don’t worry. We got you!
Be vexed with Amean’s vexed veggie pizza with onions, green peppers, black olives, and mushrooms that rivals their meaty selections. The garlic chicken pizza is garlic chicken made extremely delicious with onions and mushrooms made more delicious by a special sauce.
Of course, who would want to miss Tandoori in a pizza? Amean’s Tandoori chicken pizza gives you a taste of what Indian and Italian fusion is like.
Besides pizza, their cheese donair is something you must definitely try—cheese, tomatoes, and other delicacies tucked into a delicious embrace of fresh pita bread. Amean’s roast beef sub is another noteworthy contender; a 12-inch drool-worthy sandwich creating an outburst of flavours in every bite.

Secret Pizza is your best choice if you’re in the mood for fantastic food and spectacular beer. They’re a perfect rendezvous for hungry friends who want an amazing time catching up.
With such a fascinating name and a grand entrance featuring Joe Pesci’s The Goodfellas character, you know you’re in for an exciting time. And, if it’s authenticity and tradition that’s so desired, Secret Pizza is a remarkable place for Italian fare made special with casual dining.
They have plenty of impressive lineups, but their Bocconcini & Basilico pizza, waffaletto sandwich, fried mozzarella, and classic calzone hit the spot! Traditional pizza made to the next level of goodness with Bocconcini cheese and basil—that’s Bocconcini & Basilico pizza for you!
The pan-fried mozza is your appetizer with nuts, sage, and pomegranate molasses—gooey, heavenly cheese! The waffaleto is a huge waffle sliced in half, and baked with provolone cheese, Italian cold cuts, lettuce, and chipotle mayo, an attractive sandwich you couldn’t resist!
Want more? Their calzones, the so-called pizza cousins, are another can’t-miss item! The Classica is pizza sauce, ham, mozzarella, and mushroom served with savory dipping sauce.

9. Campus Pizza
What was previously a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall diner became one of Edmonton’s favorite pizza joints. Founded in 1981, Campus Pizza features over four decades of serving the best handcraft pizzas passionately made with best-kept secret dough and sauce recipes.
They’re easily on this list simply because of them checking off a lot of points on our list! Delicious food, friendly and polite staff, affordable prices—what more can you possibly ask for?
You can take the road not often taken by having your pizza in square-cut slices. This brings food sharing and bonding to the next level. You’ll not only enjoy every bit of the crust and sauce, but you get to appreciate every decadent topping.
They’re not really promoting dine-ins and more on takeouts, but the quality of their food remains top-notch, if not better. So, don’t hesitate to order a “legendary” Nana’s perogies pizza, an inviting Jimmy’s pizza, or a meatball madness pizza if you want something meaty!
Nana’s perogies are perogies on a pizza, spicy white sauce, potatoes, bacon, cheddar, and spicy white dipping sauce. You may not be fully convinced yet, but this fusion is one to taste and behold!
Jimmy’s secret, dubbed “the face” of the joint for 25 years, boasts the harmonious blend of ranch base, bacon, and mushroom in a perfectly crafted crust. But if you want something bolder, their meatball madness is always waiting for you to take on the challenge of house-made meatballs, red onion, red pepper flakes, and glorious parmesan.
What to order: Nana’s Perogies Pizza, Nooner Pizza

10. Firezone Pizza & Donair
West Edmonton’s contender for the best pizzeria is Firezone, a diner featuring an extensive menu of pizzas, salads, donairs, calzones, pasta, burgers, and more! There is a LOT of great stuff to choose from, and no matter what it is, Firezone creates them from scratch while making sure to satisfy your cravings.
There’s a lot of great choices from their classic and gourmet pizza menus. But the bold BBQ chicken, made more awesome with BBQ sauce, chicken, red onion, mushroom, and cilantro, and Firezone house special, featuring bacon, pepperoni, mushroom, olives, onion, and green pepper, particularly stand out. Two divine choices in the form of crust, toppings, cheese, and sauce.
For those who want to stay original, Firezone’s classic pizza offers classic toppings of cheese, beef, pepperoni, ham, and bacon, which you can mix and match in 2-topping or 3-topping orders. You can also ask for a gluten-free option!
Besides pizza, you can also try their huge jumbo donairs! You’ll be amazed at how monstrous it is. We suggest either beef or chicken donair, but if you want a taste of both worlds, then go for a mixed one!
Oh, and don’t forget their onion rings for an overly satisfying finish!
What to order: Bold BBQ Chicken Pizza, Firezone House Special, Classic Pizza, Beef/Chicken Donaire, Mixed Donair, Onion Rings
